in the 1960's, they were like the united states. they spent more than we did on hospital and physician care. since that time, since they consolidated and had the government get involved, their growth rates and the costs have been much lower than the u.s. costs. but that is probably not a good model for the u.s.. i do not think the insurance companies are going anywhere. we need to look at a mall that involves insurers. there are many models that are good examples. one would be france. france has multiple ensures, but the government does the negotiating and the coordinating of the prices of that they paid to hospitals, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies. germany does not even use government. it has a consortium of insurers to do their own bargaining and then they pass up, and reads to providers. to me, -- and then they pay out, and rates to providers -- and then they pay out common rates to providers. i should mention the safety valve. some can get supplemental coverage which is necessary for political stability although it takes

unfortunately the united states is not. the bush administration decided they were too hard on israel and had members that didn't belong on human rights commission and decided not to join the commission as a member. so that -- the u.s. did participate in this periodic review the they have not been a member of the commission so that is obviously one change the obama administration should make is to join the commission. given the u.s. isn't a member of this commission and these bodies are not meeting on a regular basis i still think the most effective means for the government to coordinate efforts on human rights is bilaterally. and of course the first step i think is for our human rights on voice to have regular meetings with each other and their first meeting will be last week because already will be ahead of the progress made the last ten years in terms of coordination. so that is the step to have regular guice meetings. i have eight areas and the first as having regular bilateral consultations. the second is one that i am
